    I have the same tires on my 98 Chevrolet Silverado Z71. I absolutely love them. They perform well in all conditions. Just had about 2 feet of snow where I live and I didn't even have to put it in 4 wheel drive

    I put the same tire on my 03 Suburban woods rig. 3 inch leveling kit and 285 75 16 fit well. Awesome tire, super tough! I came from BFG and am super happy! A/T trail's went on the Outback a week after putting these on the truck! A+++

    Thanks for posting this video! There are surprisingly very few detailed videos/pictures and reviews of these tires. Great to see them in such detail. Beautiful Tacoma. These tires are replacing the Falken AT3W in 33s for my 4Runner, which have been great! Excited to see how these compare.

      How do you like the MT01's on your 4Runner?

    • @LT.BrianM
      @LT.BrianM 4 роки тому +1

      Jared G. The MT01 is my first MT tire I’ve ever ran on so I really didn’t know what to expect. I have to say, they have surpassed my expectations in every regard. They are more quite than expected. While they may be about the same dB level of the Wildpeak AT3W, they have a nice mellow hum to them instead of the insanely annoying high pitched frequency I experienced with the AT3W. They corner well. They have incredible road manners especially for the aggressive tread. While I don’t have a ton of miles on them yet (maybe 8,000) they haven’t gotten louder or deteriorated in performance one bit. I have never once been left wanting more traction anywhere, on OR off road. They air down nicely and perform ridiculously well on the trails regardless of condition. I’ll have to wait and see now they’re doing in the snow when that season arrives shortly. All in all, couldn’t be happier with these tires and I’d buy them again right now if I had to replace them without even looking around...and that says a lot for me!

    You should be able to drop your tire pressure lower off-road. I used to go to 10 psi on some non beadlock wheels, I just made sure I didn’t turn to crazy. At 15psi, you’re just starting to get into the area of tire squish and aren’t really taking advantage of it.

    On my 13 f150 i run LT275/70/18 atw3 and ran psi at 36 in summer. Had good wear. But was noticing alot of wall flex on corners and curves. I called falken and was told to run 49 psi. Seemed to really help on the snow. I live far north WI deep snow out here.

    • @pvclassic
      @pvclassic  4 роки тому

      That's interesting. So I've been driving on 3-4 inches of compact snow & ice for a few days here and notice the traction is pretty good around 45psi so 49 wouldn't change it much. I too notice the wall flex, I've trained myself not to get aggressive when I'm running lower pressures but I have to raise the psi when at hwy speeds for sure. Really like this tire. Thanks for the tip.

      Y’all can probably run lower than that.
      LT tire air pressure ratings are for when the truck is going to be used at its max load, in a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
      I ran 255/85r16s on my Tacoma which were load range E, and I was at 32psi on the front and 25psi in the rear.
      I did the chalk test and found out that at those pressures was where my tires wore the best going down the road. That’s how you’ll find the right pressures.

    I have a few questions: What would you say your stopping range is in heavy snow? Where I'm from I get heavy winters and need A, stopping distance reliability, B, good on-road traction and C, good daily driving. So I want to know that I'm making a good investment. How long have those tires lasted you? I need something that I don't have to replace each winter [ haven't needed to, just an example ] the BFG's I have on my rig have lasted my quite a while but I am in the market again as the tread is low. Snow is my biggest concern out where I am as well as longevity, so if there is anyone who has had these tires and heavy/ 2 feet of snowfall per day at times in the winter, please feel free to reply to this comment and let me know your experiences.

    • @pvclassic

      Yes. 10 being the noisiest I'd put them at a 6.5 but I knew going in they'd do that. Also I run them low on pressure because I run alot of dirt roads and I seldom load this truck down. I also only drive it around town so not much hwy use.

      @pvclassic  3 роки тому +1

      Ha, that's their best attribute. The compound within this tire makes it remain soft and compliable in cold weather. They flex better than any tire I've owned making them that much better offroad and in snow. We just put a set on our new F250 and love them. Know this tho, they don't last as long when mounted on a heavy truck like the F250.
